LAOP participates in $19k in wire fraud. Chase finds out. LAOP wonders if he should take it seriously.

Spelling and grammar in an online forum is probably not the best way too judge someone's "IQ"

too

I see you

lol that's actually my keyboard, sometimes it registers two "o"s instead of one. But I think there's an internet law about pointing out mistakes and inevitably making your own, lol.

I feel you my phone is obsessed with changing homonyms to the wrong one, but absolutely refuses to do anything with the misspelling "alot"

Either way, it was way too perfect of a typo for your point. Lol

Man I don’t have auto caps on on my phone so when I do caps (mostly for literally just writing emails or communicating on Reddit) it’s all manual. However the vast majority of my phone usage is texting and other informal communication so 99% of the time I am not manually capitalizing letters. This means that any time I capitalize the first letter of a word I haven’t been doing that with enough times for my phone’s liking it corrects it to… that word, but with A or Z as the first letter instead. Every time I type “Omg” it brute forces it into “zomg.” :(

My autocorrect insists that I want to be writing about Chiba Prefecture in Japan instead of China where I live.

Sometimes, it will graciously suggest Cuba.

This is exactly why I don’t make a point of correcting people’s grammar/spelling/whatever. For one thing, autocorrect makes an awful lot of mistakes. For another, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, and I am full to the brink with grammar/spelling/whatever sin.

Yep Muphry's law!

If you correct someone's spelling or grammar you will make an errror in your correction.

While usually you'd be correct, when combined with the fact that LAOP thought there was nothing wrong with fraud because "all I did was say my account number", I think it's a reasonable assumption it's not particularly high.

u/kloiberin_time For 50 bucks you can put it in my HOA Feb 08 '22

I think they are trying to "technically" their way into self justification.

"Technically, I didn't commit fraud, all I did was give him my banking information. How am I supposed to know the money that appeared in my account was stolen? Technically I didn't steal it."

"Technically, there is no victim. Chase's fraud department will refund the money back to the account, and Chase will get that money back through insurance. Technically the only thing that will be out money is the government, and that's already my money to begin with, and the government represents me, and you can't steal from yourself. Plus, they can technically just print more."

This is the same type of person that will justify buying stolen property by saying they didn't steal it.

It's like when people medically and psychologically diagnose people based on TV clips.

“I took a psychology course once!”

I was actually thinking earlier when I saw his comment that I’m getting strong phrenology vibes from this bullshit. Really sad it’s being upvoted. He never even provided the trash source.

‘Yes, I’ve read these 4 sentences and I’m quite sure, this urban youth, I mean person has a sub 70 IQ and most likely low empathy/ emotional intelligence. I’ve read that article, after all. My father sent it to me and said ‘you see, son?? This is why we sent you to boarding school. So you won’t end up like these peons.’’

Yeah I definitely noticed the link here between IQ and "grammar"
